Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
System -> Administration -> Discs
Select a hard disk with an NTFS partition, move to Partitions tab, select the NTFS partition and then press 'Enable'.
Drive will then be mounted somewhere underneath /tmp, but with mode 0500 owned by root:root making it completely useless for access by normal users.
Worse still, the 'Browse' button in Discs Manager doesn't work, since it launches a Nautilus window as the logged-in user rather than root so further reducing the usefulness of the 'Enable' button.
This likely affects FAT partitions, too but I don't have any to test with, and they're a dying breed anyway. |
